Re: Whatsthisthen?
One thing leads to another......
Following on from Neil's post which was following on from Armidillo's post about someone's Zephyr estate in Aus - we come to coachbuilders E.D. Abbott Ltd in Farnham.
They get a mention on the NationalTransportTrust's website. https://www.nationaltransporttrust.org. ... rnham?rs=1
One of the photos from that site is this. So name the cars in the shot

With a bit of delving the image is titles busy forecourt circa 1966 and this is a full rendition of the original image.

Re: Whatsthisthen?
You've done well with that Fiat, Neil. When I saw the original photo I thought that car might cause some head scratching

Re: Whatsthisthen?
They strangely had FIAT tagged onto their Humber Hillman Sunbeam Rover garage signage so it was a possibility and looks pretty similar to the one in the pic. Lovely looking car in my eyes.
Another random link springing from ED Abbott here...

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Pretty good there Neil, No 9 is a Hillman Super Minx, No 6 though is more difficult because at the time there were lots of 'badge engineered Hillman Minx/Singer Gazelle / Humber Sceptre models, I'd guess it's a Series 3A Hillman Minx judging by the fins,

We haven't had a 'Wheresthisthen' for a while so here's one I came across today while out for a 50 mile round trip of Hertfordshire!!
